Who cares what other people say if its not an MR. remember, MR= Mitsubishi Racing. Just be happy that the MR badge exists.

i dunno... i'm kinda torn here... see... i like the MR badging, but... putting a Type-R badge on a stripped down base model integra is rice... putting a Si badge on a civic DX is rice... putting a MR badge on a GSR or RS is Rice...

the taillights... that's a diff story kinda sorta... going from USDM to JDM is no big deal... same evo 8's... putting a vortex generator on a non-MR isn't rice either, you're adding a part that adds performance... putting BBS MR wheels on, that adds performance... there's reason for that stuff that's ok... but putting a badge on does not add performance, and you're trying to simulate the higher model that you didn't think the $4k was worth spending on extra...

what i'm saying is Badging is a fine rice line to walk... but to each their own... everyone works hard for their ride, so they can do whatever they want... rice or not rice... just i wouldn't want to be placed in a Honda fanboy realm with that fake badging thing...

Thank you, thats exactly what I've been trying to say. Of course to each their own but u all know if u saw wrong badge on a downgraded civic u would say the same thing except this time its u.

Where to buy uk trunk badges?

I'm looking into getting a set of uk evo ix chrome badges, I've seen many many vendors have them listed on their site but they all are out of stock!

Does anybody know of a place that has them in stock? I don't want to get the cheapo ebay ones cause they are, well cheap vinyl

If anybody knows of a place that has them please let me know!

the ebay one it says "The Letters Are made of High Quality ABS Molded Hard Plastic (Not Cheap Plastic , Thin Aluminum or Vinyl Like Other Sellers )And Triple Chrome Plated for a Long Lasting Finish . "


Aluminum or "hard plastic" from ebay?!?!?there both the same price...its funny how the display picture for both is the same LOL
